The other day I saw a little key-chain-attachment thingy and a local novelty store. No big deal really, I just thought it was had a mighty interesting message despite seeing it a thousands times before. It simple said, "I drink to make other people more interesting". Ha, I thought that is kinda humorous (it must have been a rainy day that day). That little $2.50 trinket got me thinking later on that day. Who really becomes more interesting when drinking? Well, I enjoy a beer every now and then. As a matter a fact, I am having a Blue right now. I don't drink all that much, not around computers at least, ever since the whole ruining a keyboard while drinking and surfing the net for ummmm? flowers. Well back to the story, I saw both sides of the coin on this one.

One day while hosting some friends, for some ungodly reason I decided to take a shower. Oh wait now I remember why, it was to go goof around at Wal-Mart, a not uncommon activity for us. Stay tuned for details next week. But anyway, I just so happened to be listening to music in the shower, and started singing along. Obviously if any of you ever heard me try to sing, it is the most awful thing ever, worse than The New Kids on the Block. Well eventually, I came up with my own creation, called "Naked Man". It just started coming up in my singing and by the end of my shower I had a very rough draft of what may have been MTV's and Much Music's new #1 hit. Did I mention I was drunk, because I was. In an explosion of self-confidence I felt that I had to share my song while only in my towel. Well, as unimpressed as my friends were, I thought the towel had to go. Sure enough that did little to impress them, the opposite effect instead happened. Still feeling like that song was a hit after much cursing and criticism, now dressed, I felt I had to leave it on my girlfriend's answering machine and another friend's voice mail. Needless to say my girlfriend briefed me.

On the flip side, when in a death lock in an otherwise boring conversation, drinking can do you well; hopefully you will block out what verbal diarrhea you are hearing or forget the next morning you ever talked to that person. Also ugly people: who would talk to them if it wasn't for other inability to escape the conversation due to being sedated from various contents, of various proofs, being consumed?

Oh yeah, but anyways, this article was really about how genius some of those saying are. Even though these gimmicks are neither genius nor cool, it is pretty sad how a $2.50 piece of junk amused my interest that day. Not to mention inspire me to waste like 45 minutes trying to concentrate on the keyboard long enough to finish this article. Damn, I must be lame. By the way, "Naked Man" sadly is not a myth.
